Sounds like the attorney defendants in that infamous DUI-setup case could have used better counseling. The blatantly disingenuous defense that the lawyers were merely helping local police get a drunken driver off city streets obviously didn’t impress Pinellas Senior Judge Douglas Baird. Probably incensed him.
He would find the action of the defendants–Stephen Diaco, Robert Adams and Adam Filthaut–“inexplicably egregious, spiteful and malicious.” Since Sharia law doesn’t apply around here, Judge Baird threw the disbarment book at them.
Ultimately, the Florida Supreme Court will make the final call. Most court observers don’t like the respondents chances on appeal.
